Grand Central station to become hotel near World's Fair site
A Chicago Gram content account describes the Grand Central station being fitted up as a hotel for the World's Fair, with plans for a modern eight floor building offering hot and cold water, electric lights, steam heat, and 100 to 400 rooms. It notes proximity to Morrison Street and Birth Avenue, rail access via Wisconsin Central division, and opening slated May 15th of the year. Mrs Ada Tue’s testimonial promotes a patent remedy for consumption and colds, with free bottles at Wright’s drug store.
